Abstract

We present a means of generating a mobile clientserver application that enables customized remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases. The customization is based on parameters and formal descriptions of: type of chronic disease, patient preferences, the monitoring procedure required by the doctor, prescribed medication and information about the current context (i.e., environment) of the patient, obtained from sensors. Based on this, the system determines which pieces of information should be regularly obtained from the patient through questionnaires and/or sensors of the smart phone and sensors connected to it. Relevant information are the ones that help to detect possible changes in the patient's health condition and the monitoring process of a patient by the doctor. The medical treatment and the kind of chronic disease will define the set of data to be collected. It should be stressed that the goal is not to support automatic medical diagnosis, but only to provide means for physicians to obtain updated information about their patients, so as to allow remote monitoring of patients.

定制慢性病患者移动和远程监测的框架

我们提出了一种生成移动客户端服务器应用程序的方法，该应用程序可以对慢性病患者进行定制的远程监控。定制基于以下参数和正式描述:慢性病类型、患者偏好、医生要求的监测程序、处方药物以及从传感器获得的有关患者当前环境(即环境)的信息。在此基础上，系统通过问卷和/或智能手机的传感器以及与其相连的传感器，确定应该定期从患者那里获取哪些信息。相关信息是那些有助于检测患者健康状况可能发生的变化以及医生对患者的监测过程的信息。医疗和慢性病的种类将定义要收集的数据集。应该强调的是，目标不是支持自动医疗诊断，而只是为医生提供获取患者最新信息的手段，以便对患者进行远程监控。
